Has a bright blue LED indicator that blinks when the power cord is connected is turned off. I often pull the cord out when I want to sleep. So annoying. Sorry I just wanted to yell about my VPR Matrix monitor.
Maybe it's good that people are refering to The Sept 11th attacks as 9-11, as I have noticed more poeple refer to the emergency service number as 9-1-1 and not 9-11 as they used to.
Kids that age do not need to be asking their parents what words like that mean
It's a word, that's it, a word. When did we give words so much power? Does it really hurt if some kid says fuck? Where is the line drawn? Does context matter, such as the many uses for hell. Is the biblical place Hell okay while the phrase "go to hell" is not? What about words that some people find offensive and others don't such as suck. What about saying f'ing or freaking the meaning is the same isn't it. And at what point are people suddenly mature enough to use swear words?
If a kid constantly hears the word ass instead of bottom or rear-end or butt and uses it in that context how is that harmful.
I think practically any word can be used in a "vulgar' sense. Instead of trying to keep your child in a bubble explain to them that a)these are words that I don't want you to use, it wont be the first double standard in their lives or b)tell them that the word is an insult and not nice, etc. There are many ways to handle it besides they are going to hear it sooner or later. I had a friend who handled it in a very good way. If my friend said a word the parents found offensive they made the kid read the definition of the word out of the dictionary in front of the family. This was very good motivation not to use those words.
It's about raising children to be respectful.
The short of it is I heard swear words as soon as I knew what words were. I probably said each on once and got told not to say it again, and I didn't(not in front of my parents anyway;), and I've done quite well for myself, I'm not a deviant or a killer, etc. I am a contributing member of our society.
A word only has as much power as that hears it, gives it.
Educate me please... Okay I've heard this allot about processors and something has always nagged at be about this. How is it in something that I think of as precise as making chips is it not cretain how fast a chip will preform? If you make something the same way how is it that you have a variance from one to the next? Sorry for the dumb question but I wuld just like to understand this.
This proves my theory, if they would make voting easier then more people would vote, see how good it worked. More than everybody voted which you can't argue with is much better than a measly 40% turnout.
Wow the Deer Hunter reference brought back very bad memories. When I was in Florida, the area had a large redneck population, it was south of Daytona. For a while at Wal-Mart all they had in the game section was Deer Hunter/Avenger and other games the well hicks would drool over. Mind you not that I bought games at Wal-Mart I just looked to see... Yeah that it.

It is a simple problem to the/. but I do not think the general public knows or cares to know about code.
If they picked a Judge and a jury of/. reader this case probably would be open and shut but it wont be it will be with a Judge who probably has never coded anything, ever. Same for a jury. So thats why your going to need a good legal defence team, you'll need to explain to the jury about this stuff and hope they understand it.
This was a topic on Newtons Apple. I'm sure some of the crowd here rememebers that show. This was a long time ago so I'm only going to state what I remeber "The PB&J effect was also do the the average height of table/connertops. "
He has pressure from all sides. The customer, the shareholders (if it's public), the higherups in the company, and SCO. In his case it's better safe than sorry. You and I know that this SCO thing is foolish, but that's not a gurantee that it wont play out in SCO's favor...
In a perfect world you could do that, but a perfect world and the American judical system are not one in the same. SCO has high priced lawyers, so if you go in there with Lionel Hutz from the Simpsons, well you know how it will turn out.

D'oh! Man for the last half hour I was trying to figure out what you were getting at. Now that I "got it" I'm glad I didn't ask what you were talking about. Now the people in the cube farm are wondering why I just burst out with laughter.

Did any one else read the title of the post and take it as meaning the FBI just down a hosting company for providing slow service. I was hopeing that my hosting company saw this and took note. Oh well.

The girl that told us about it was saying how it was "so unfair" you can imagine that in a class that was taught by an active police office with a PH.D didn't give her much sympathy.
to taking peoples license away from them Do you know how many people my father arrests for driving with out a license, allot of the people that lose the license simply don't care, just like people driving with out insurance.
I heard a rumor in one of my Criminology classes that one state was talking about seizing a persons car is convicted of DUI, kind of like drug smuggling. I think that would make you think twice, and if you didn't and lost your car it would make people think twice about letting you using their car.

Even if they did punch you, as my firend often punches me when I make a joke about her gender, I would still make the joke.
Punches like a girl.

Why is it assumed that men are suprsied, I'm not.

It doesn't get much more funny than that.
There was some guy on a talk show talking about dumb criminals. They used to word T-shirt for guns. So the conversation went as follows
"I have the T-shirts"
"Good bring 'em over so I can take a look at them, oh and when you bring over the T-shirts, don't forget the bullets."

Hey you seem to know whats going on, maybe you can fill out my 1040 for me.
It's obvious I don't know what these tax things are all about.
Seriously though, thanks for pointing out my slip.

You know I actually wish I could have the Government fill out my w2 for me. This is largely do to the fact that I am lazy.
